Words to live by

To Hell With It. Cobwebs festooning the corners? Dust pumas under the bed? Floors that crunch underfoot? So what? The laundry goes from body to hamper to washer to clothes basket to body again without being sidetracked into closet or drawer. No problem. Why scrub down the stove and the counters? They’ll only get dirty again. Okay, we stop short of being shut down by the Board of Public Health. But who gives a rat’s backside if the linens match? And making the bed? Please. Life is too short.

And I have novels to write.

I was bad and printed the climax first. Sort of like eating dessert before dinner. But the rest of the post is here, and is well worth your time.

Shakespeare’s English

It’s 10 and a half minutes, which is longish for a You Tube clip. But it’s a fascinating discussion of Shakespeare’s plays being performed in the English of the time, aka Original Pronunciation. Rhymes that didn’t in Modern English rhyme once more. Puns pop out where before, the modern pronunciations obscured them.

Thanks to Jeffrey Richard over at Facebook for the link.
